    Pretty Polka Dots 

    Polka dots have been on the style horizon for the past couple of seasons…I covered this trend last year and continue to see more styles when I am shopping. One thing I have noticed this season is that the size of the polka dots is increasing which keeps this trend fresh. These pretty polka dot styles will keep your spring style spot on! Style & Life Blog: Pretty Polka Dots This polka dot skirt is cute and casual. I chose to dress it down with a casual tee and sneakers but you could also dress it up with a nice heel and the coordinating top. Skirt and sneakers available at www.bloomingdales.com, top available at www.express.com.

    When I look at my closet (which is organized by color), there are three colors that have significantly more styles in them than the others…two are not really colors since they are black and white but the one color I cannot seem to stop buying is blush.
